The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
A study by the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER) released on Monday estimated that introducing genetic modification in Aotearoa could shave billions of dollars off the value of food and fibre exports

And that is before the after-effects start in. Actually I bring John wyndham’s ‘logical fantasy’ The Day of the Triffids up as an example. The triffids were good for oil, useful plants, and their dangers were known, but there was a net beneft. When they weren’t under control though, they became a scourge to the people and animals. The arts can make us think also respond, and sometimes the two at once if we are doing whole-brain thinking. Whole-brain – whole-grain for good bread flour; we need more fibre in our backbones.

We ordinary people already know we are being targeted – this piece proves it.
We can’t afford tourist related accidents in Kiwiland. Moves are on to CUT down the hospital system and any anaesthetic used will be dispensed at one’s own cost at one’s or two’s, favourite bar. For those who don’t know where Tirau and Piarere are it’s in the mid North Island – the patients are being dispensed to about four hospitals of the area.
People on disaster tourism, or surveying land to be bought on mortgagee sale, and then buying old houses to transport their old kauri and rimu walls to the site (that’s happening somewhere in NZAO as we breathe in and out right now.)

This is a bit mixed up – general grumpiness.

Another interesting informative piece from Ian Powell. Read and find who is a worthy NZ and who is wearing a tissue paper mask.
About how to have slavery in NZAO – this is a useful place to read about good ideas as we note what we shouldn’t do. We all can’t be good humans and a few baddies ensure we have a low standard so we can set criteria from low to high. Being a bad example is hard work they say, though many seem to choose to be noble but trying standard bearers.
